A
- A Latin legal phrase: causa causam, the cause of the cause
- Actually, that is their philosophy, Srila Prabhupada. I've heard people say exactly that, "All the things I want to do are for the people that are going to hell, therefore I want to go to hell. Why should I go anywhere else?"

- Arjuna was very lucky to have Krsna there to tell him what the plan was
B
- Believers in Sai Baba and other we believe in an incorporeal God, nirakara

- Generally it seems to me that this old varnasrama system to some extent practiced the nature of division of labor in ancient society. So now division of labor among people in any society is much more complicated and sophisticated
- Gita jnana itself is given by Lord incorporeal, not to Krsna. Krsna, it is told, at the time the jnana was given had a body which became divya Vedanta

I
- I can possess it if you give it to me
- I know when a person doesn't come to the temple, it's very difficult for him to maintain, especially if he maintains a full time job. It has an imperceptible effect on your consciousness
- I know, Prabhupada, that in Seattle you had me lecture on a newspaper clipping that in New Jersey they had opened up one home for alcoholic priests

- If our seeing is imperfect we can see the change of body but we cannot see change, the transmigration of the soul
- If there's no vegetables you have to eat something
- If you are spiritually satisfied you would sit down and do nothing and if everybody were doing that we should be rather back to where we started rather than have enough food or music or transport
- If you need to relax, and you sit and listen to some music, it doesn't say praise God all the time, but in fact is, because it's beautiful
- If you proclaim that this is the real Hinduism, the people are getting fed up with Hinduism
- If you're a member, you have to practice the whole thing obviously
- In that way I was saying that we talk more of spiritualism here. I don't know whether they talk it in other countries or not. But we do here more
- In the Bhagavad-gita Krsna also, He says to Arjuna, "What need is there of all this knowledge? Just know that with one spark of My splendor I am pervading everything"
- It is always the home is the last one always, you know what happens with prophets. They are always respected more abroad
- It is very dangerous. Analogy's awfully dangerous

- Someone was thinking that Brahma is not a pure devotee. But at the same time, he appeared as Thakura Haridasa in this world. So Brahma, he appears as Thakura Haridasa with Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Sometimes the Christians they say that, "According to our scriptures that Christ is the only way. And unless one is worshiping God through Christ, that is heathenism"
- Sometimes the mother uses the method of fear to train her child. So similarly, according to the consciousness of the people the doctrine of love of God has to sometimes be preached with a little element of fear so that they'll accept it

T

- There is an opinion that this varnasrama system was introduced into Indian society on the late stage of Vedic era but not from the beginning
